Growing up in Fort McMurray and playing for the Oil Barons remains one of the most memorable and unforgettable experiences of my hockey career. Now as head coach and general manager, I am excited to support a group of young men in their own personal development; both on and off the ice. As a billet family, you are one of the most valued and important members of our team. We hope that you create a life long relationship with your player, as you welcome them into your home and part of your family. With your support, players learn the importance of teamwork and respect, while being active members of our community. I would like to thank you for welcoming an Oil Baron into your home. I, along with our exceptional team are here to support you, as we embark on a remarkable journey together.

THERE IS NO GREY AREA IF WE ARE WHAT WE REPEATEDLY DO … EXCELLENCE IS JUST OUR HABIT A MESSAGE FROM THE BILLET COORDINATOR Greetings, Welcome to another exciting year of Oil Barons hockey. We are looking forward to all of the electrifying goals and saves this season, but are even more excited to see all our new and current billet families. Billeting can be a very exciting and rewarding experience. Many families, who have billeted in the past, usually look back at their experience with fond memories. In fact, many families still keep in touch with their players, as they move through the ranks of college and professional hockey. Yes, the reality is that not every player/family match will be met with un-denying success. Sometimes, chemistry and expectations might be lacking to continue on with the relationship in a positive manner for one or both parties. But when this happens, we will make every effort to ensure everyone is happy and comfortable with their arrangement. Whether you are a new or long time resident of Fort McMurray, billeting is a great way to meet people. When you walk into the Casman Centre for an Oil Barons game, you will notice billet families talking with other billets or the players’ families, sharing their experiences and a laugh. Each billet family is paid a monthly amount of $500.00 per player (in addition to receiving milk & bread coupons) to house the player in their home. In addition, each family is given two season tickets and two playoff tickets per player billeted. If you are interested in billeting this season, please contact me at 780-598-2123, or [email protected]. I would be more than happy to discuss billeting with you and hopefully welcome you to our Oil Barons family. Sincerely, Kim Hennessey Billet Coordinator North Champions 00, 05, 06, 12 AJHL Champions 00,06 Doyle Cup 2000 National Junior A Champions 2000 THERE ARE ONLY 2 OPTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE COMMITMENT. YOU ARE EITHER IN OR OUT. THERE IS NO GREY AREA IF WE ARE WHAT WE REPEATEDLY DO … EXCELLENCE IS JUST OUR HABIT INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD OF BILLETING As a billet family, it is always helpful to have information close at hand as we make our way through the season. Included in this package you will find: 1. An Oil Barons game schedule, which includes all home and away games. 2. The Player Code of Conduct that will be signed by the player, revealing the team’s expectations and player responsibilities. 3. A contact information sheet, which will provide you with important personal data on your player. 4. A complete list of the Northern Alberta Athletic Association’s Board of Directors. 5. A House Rules Form that can be drawn up by you and the player, so that your expectations within the household are clearly articulated. We hope that by providing this billet package to you, the rules of conduct expected by the players both at the rink and off the ice will be clearly outlined. The balance of this information package is provided to make the billet experience a positive one. If you have any questions regarding this package or the billeting process, please contact the Oil Barons office or Kim Hennessey, Billet Coordinator.

THERE IS NO GREY AREA IF WE ARE WHAT WE REPEATEDLY DO … EXCELLENCE IS JUST OUR HABIT FORT MCMURRAY OIL BARONS PLAYER CONDUCT AND EXPECTATIONS All Fort McMurray Oil Barons players, coaches, and other hockey personnel will represent the hockey club’s tradition of excellence both on and off the ice as ambassadors of the club. As an official member of the Fort McMurray Oil Barons, each person must assume the responsibility of this honor and hold this designation in the highest regard, doing what he or she can to promote the team as a first class junior hockey club. I. Weekday Activity The Fort McMurray Oil Barons Board of Directors requires each member of the hockey club be involved in a regular weekday activity. In most cases, this would mean every team member would either be enrolled in an educational institution or be employed on a part-time basis at minimum. If not in school, it is then the player’s responsibility to participate in a daily activity. Education – club members enrolled in educational institutions are expected to attend school regularly and are expected to maintain passing grades in registered courses. Players that have graduated from high school will be encouraged to enroll at Keyano College. There will be regular attendance updates provided by the school to the appropriate people. Academic institution attendance records will be reported to the Oil Barons office from associated educational institutions. Telephone calls from any academic institution to a player billets’ home regarding attendance or any other matter will be reported to the Education Director as soon as possible. The Education Director will then report such incidents to the President and General Manager for appropriate action. The Education Director will be in regular contact with educational institution personnel reviewing attendance, marks, study habits and attitude. The Education Director will send out attendance reports to parents throughout the year. The Board of Directors strongly believes in post secondary education and will help any player achieve their academic goals.

II. Evening Activity – curfews (**at the discretion of the coach) General curfew is set at 12:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, other than on a pre-game night. This means players will be at home at the designated time. Players will be required to be in their home residence by 12:00 a.m. after a weekday home game. Players will be required to be in their home residence by 11:00 p.m. on a pre- game night. Post game curfews will be set after each game and will be communicated to the billets by group text. Note: curfews imposed by the coaching staff are subject to change. III. Illicit Drug and Alcohol Use and Gambling 1. Suspicion or evidence of illicit drug use (or criminal activity) could result in a complaint to the local R.C.M.P. Any player currently under investigation for criminal activity may be immediately suspended by the club pending review. 2. Players under the provincial legal alcohol consumption and gambling age of 18 years will not consume alcohol or be found in a gambling establishment while being listed as a member of the hockey club. 3. Players will be subject to random drug testing throughout the hockey season. IV. Dress and Personal Care 1.
